Unisys Corp will resell Oracle Corp’s InterOffice suite on its U6000 Unix symmetric multiprocessing servers and Unix and Windows NT personal computer servers. Unisys will bundle hardware and software with new sales as requested, and sell InterOffice separately to existing U6000 users. It says it will charge the same price for InterOffice as Oracle, although Oracle hasn’t yet determined tags for the bundle. Oracle’s Workgroup and Enterprise InterOffice packages include an integrated database, messaging, systems management, and Web software. It is due to ship in April. Compaq Computer Corp, Houston, will offer both packages from the second half, using its SmartStart integration tool to install, configure and optimise the software on its servers.
